The All-White Amazing Decoration From A Luxury Hotel In Mexico

September 27, 2017

White blocks containing guest accommodation appear to float on expansive reflecting pools at this Mexican luxury hotelby Taller Aragonés. See here the shallow pools mirror sugar-cube suites at Hotel Mar Adentro. An amazing all-white design and decoration you need to see. Take a look at this beautiful hotel, enjoy and get inspired.

Hotel Mar Adentro sits on the coast of San José del Cabo, at the southern tip of Mexico‘s Baja California peninsula. The popular resort has myriad accommodation options, including the Drift San Jose boutique hotel.

Mexico-based Taller Aragonés, run by architect Miguel Angel Aragonés and his son Rafael, wanted to create something architecturally unique from the all-inclusive resorts that line the beach.

And they definitely created something different and unique. The over usage of the colour white is what differentiates this hotel from all others. That’s the predominant colour, both in the interior as well as the exterior of the hotel.

To make the most of views, a series of cube-shaped buildings step down in height towards the ocean. Taller blocks house standard guest rooms, and larger suites, while smaller one- and two-storey villas are dotted in between.

Here you can see how everything is white and light tonalities but the chairs, these are brown and give an amazing contrast to the entire room.

Dark grey pathways criss-cross the water to connect the different buildings, and widen where they create a terrace for loungers and cabanas around a swimming pool.

At various levels, shallow pools extend from the edges of the concrete structures out towards the sea. “I wanted to take that horizon and bring it into the foreground,” said Aragonés.

These pools also reflect the stark architecture, which comprises factory-built modules assembled on site. Each block is placed at a slightly different angle, creating a sweeping curve around the pools.

Other restaurants are located on the mezzanine under the main lobby, which features an exposed grid of white columns and beams, and on the roof of the main building. Two more are planned for phase three of the development.

Pale stone flooring, white surfaces and equally minimal furniture all match the architecture. At night, guests can chose from one of five colours to illuminate their accommodation.

Mexico’s beaches and climate are a big draw for tourists, so the country’s coastline is teeming with hotels. Others with notable architecture include the Hotel San Cristóbal Baja up the coast in Todos Santos, as well as Casa Malca and Papaya Playa Project in the Caribbean resort of Tulum.

“This is the purest, most minimalist landscape a horizon could have drawn,” Aragones said. “On either side, this dreamlike scenery collided with what humans consider to be aesthetic, and go on to build and baptise as architecture.”
